Griffin Technology is definitely a known brand in the world of technology, and they have debuted with something spectacular at CES this year – the Twenty Audio Amplifier. This is great news for anyone that loves listening to audio, but does not have an AirPlay enabled speaker system yet.

The Twenty is an audio amplifier that will use an AirPort Express in order to catch an AirPlay stream, decode it, and then send amplified and lossless sound through the speakers. It has a zero-configuration setup, and will be ready to stream Apple Lossless sound from iTunes or any other AirPlay enabled app (such as Pandora, Spotify, last.fm, etc.) to the user’s speakers via a low-profile digital amplifier.

“The Griffin Twenty is the easiest, best-­sounding solution for consumers who have speakers that are not AirPlay-­enabled but still want to stream high-­fidelity audio wirelessly,” said Mark Rowan, President of Griffin Technology. “Not only can users stream from their iTunes library, they can easily connect with any AirPlay-­enabled iOS device.”

Each Twenty unit will come equipped with a power connect and a mount for an AirPort Express. It features a 2.1 channel sound system with 20 watts output per channel, and will also support a powered sub woofer with an automatic active crossover at 80 Hz.
